2019 Minnesota Senate District 11 special election, Primary election, Late ballots
Prior to the primary election, some voters voting by mail expressed concerns they would not receive their ballots or their ballots would not arrive in time to be counted. Carlton County's auditor said the short time frame of the special election and supply shortages made it difficult to promptly mail ballots. Minnesota law requires, when a vacancy occurs while the Legislature is in session, that the governor issue a writ within five days of a vacancy occurring for a special election to be held within 35 days after the writ is issued. If a primary election is required, it must be held within 14 days before the special election.


2019 Minnesota Senate District 11 special election, Primary election, Late ballots
Several hundred mail-in ballots did not arrive in time to be counted. In Carlton County, which had approximately 2,300 registered voters in mail-only precincts, 250 ballots arrived three days after the primary election and a further 12 three days later. In Pine County, which had 752 registered voters in mail-only precincts, a total of 43 ballots had arrived late as of three days after the primary election. Carlton County's auditor predicted as many as 400 ballots would arrive late. Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon said he would ask the Legislature to increase the time frame for holding future special elections given the number of late ballots.

2019 Miramar shootout
On December 5, 2019, a police pursuit of jewelry store robbers in Miramar, Florida, United States, culminated in a shootout, killing the perpetrators, the kidnapped driver of a UPS van (which they had carjacked), and a bystander. The crime scene was described as "very complicated" by the FBI special agent in charge. The president of Miami-Dade's police union claimed that at least eleven officers opened fire on the UPS truck in response to the robbers' firing first.


2019 Miramar shootout, Robbery
At approximately 4:14 p.m., Lamar Alexander and Ronnie Jerome Hill robbed the jewelry store, Regent Jeweler at Miracle Mile in Coral Gables, Florida. They held the store's cashier at gunpoint and stole diamonds. The two suspects exchanged gunfire with the store owner during the robbery, injuring one jewelry shop worker and hitting nearby Coral Gables City Hall with a stray bullet, causing that building to be placed on lock down.


2019 Miramar shootout, Robbery
Police were alerted when the store's silent alarm system went off. Ninety seconds later, when officers arrived, the gunmen opened fire on the officers, who then returned fire on the gunmen. The gunmen left in a U-Haul van, which they later ditched in a suburban neighborhood one mile away. The suspects then carjacked a UPS delivery truck at gunpoint and took the driver hostage. The two continued their escape in the UPS truck, heading on Interstate 75 into Broward County.


2019 Miramar shootout, Shootout
Several police cars pursued the suspects until the UPS truck became boxed in by slow-moving rush hour traffic in Miramar, about 20 miles (32 km) north of the jewelry store. Police then took cover behind the cars of bystanders as the suspects opened fire. A total of nineteen officers returned fire on the suspects, including thirteen members of the Miami-Dade Police Department. The other six officers were from the Miramar Police Department and the Pembroke Pines Police Department. The pursuit and shootout were broadcast live on television by news helicopters.


2019 Miramar shootout, Victims
Four people were killed in the shootout. Both robbery suspects,  Lamar Alexander, and Ronnie Jerome Hill, both 41, were killed by police. The hijacked UPS driver, Frank Ordonez, 27, and bystander Richard Cutshaw, 70, were also both killed in the shootout; the Florida Department of Law Enforcement has not released the result of ballistics investigations that would indicate whether Ordonez and Cutshaw were shot by police or robbers. A female store employee was shot and wounded in the initial robbery.


2019 Miramar shootout, Response
The sister of Ordonez, who had been taken hostage, expressed her anger that the police responded quickly with gunfire, and did not attempt to negotiate the hostage situation, which she believed caused her brother's death. At a vigil the following year, Ordonez's brother said "The police murdered my brother on live TV and we all had to watch in horror." Lawsuits were later filed on behalf of Ordonez and Cutshaw, alleging that the police agencies involved had behaved negligently. The litigation stalled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

2019 Mississippi gubernatorial election
This is the first time since 1987 that the Democratic candidate has carried Warren and Madison counties in a gubernatorial election.


2019 Mississippi gubernatorial election, Background
Situated in the Deep South as a Socially conservative Bible Belt state, Mississippi is one of the most Republican states in the country. No Democrat has been elected to the governorship since Ronnie Musgrove in 1999. However, the state's Democratic Attorney General, Jim Hood, who has held his office since 2004 and had yet to lose a statewide election, put the Republican's winning streak of four elections in a row to the test, as the race became unusually competitive.


2019 Mississippi gubernatorial election, Background
Reeves defeated Hood in the general election by a margin of 5.1%, making this the closest a Democrat had come to winning a Mississippi gubernatorial election since 1999. Hood pulled off the best performance by a Democrat since the 2003 Mississippi gubernatorial election, when fellow Democrat Ronnie Musgrove took 45.81% of the vote. Hood flipped the counties of Chickasaw, Lafayette, Madison, Panola, and Warren, which had all voted for Republican Donald Trump in the 2016 United States presidential election.


2019 Mississippi gubernatorial election, Background
Uniquely among the states, the Constitution of Mississippi establishes a sort of Electoral College at the state level, for the election of Governor. Article 5, Section 140 of the state constitution states that each state House district is assigned an electoral vote, and that a candidate running for governor must receive a majority of electoral votes (essentially, they must win a majority of state House districts) in addition to winning a majority of the popular vote in order to be elected governor.


2019 Mississippi gubernatorial election, Background
Article 5, Section 141 of the state constitution states that if no candidate wins both a popular and electoral vote majority, the state House of Representatives is assigned to decide the winner, choosing from the two highest popular vote winners. This provision came into play only one time in the state's history; Democratic candidate Ronnie Musgrove in the 1999 gubernatorial election garnered a plurality, but not a majority; the House selected Musgrove.


2019 Mississippi gubernatorial election, Background
In the lead-up to the election, controversy emerged over these constitutional provisions establishing a state system of electoral votes, with a federal lawsuit claiming the provisions are racially biased. These provisions were put in place with the 1890 Mississippi Constitution, itself established by the segregationist Redeemers and overturning the Reconstruction-era 1868 Constitution, as part of Jim Crow Era policy to minimize the power of African Americans in politics. Because of this, as well as present gerrymandering that packs African Americans into a small number of districts, the plaintiffs claim the provisions should be struck down on the basis of racial bias.

2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis
In mid-2019, a sequence of events following the 2019 Moldovan parliamentary election – and the subsequent attempts to form and install a new government, culminated in the positions of Prime Minister and Speaker of the Parliament, as well as the powers and duties of the President, being claimed by competing individuals.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis
On 8 June 2019, Maia Sandu was elected prime minister by parliament – forming the Sandu Cabinet, while Zinaida Greceanîi was elected Speaker of the Parliament. However, on 9 June 2019 the Constitutional Court temporarily suspended the President of Moldova – Igor Dodon, from the powers and duties of his office and one of the claimants to the position of prime minister, Pavel Filip, was appointed acting president. Filip immediately issued a decree dissolving the parliament, whereas the new government said this move was illegal.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Background
Moldova is a parliamentary republic. In December 2016, Igor Dodon, former leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova, was elected president. He is described as pro-Russian and was backed by Russia. In February 2019, as the result of the 2019 parliamentary elections, the Socialist party won 35 seats in the parliament, followed by the Democratic Party of Moldova chaired by Vladimir Plahotniuc (30 seats), the NOW Platform DA and PAS block by Sandu and Andrei Năstase (26 seats), the Șor Party (7 seats), and independent candidates (3 seats).


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Background
By constitution, the parliament has "three months" (article 85) to form the government; if it fails to form the government, the president can dissolve the parliament and call new elections. The Constitutional Court interpreted the term as corresponding to 90 days, which is two days less than the sum of March, April and May. Until the new government had been formed, the outgoing Filip Cabinet, formed by the previous Democratic Party-dominated legislature, was to maintain control of the executive. The post-election configuration of the Moldovan parliament gave no outright majority to either party, thus making a coalition of two of the three biggest parties a necessity to gain a majority and elect a Prime Minister.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Crisis
On Friday June 7, the Constitutional Court decided that new parliamentary elections are to be held if no government was made before a three month (90 consecutive days) deadline starting from its validation of the election results on 9 March. This triggered a formation of a coalition. On Saturday June 8, the NOW Platform DA and PAS finally reached an agreement with the Socialist party. This agreement allowed Sandu to form the government, and the leader of the parliamentary fractions of the socialists, Zinaida Greceanîi, would become the speaker.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Crisis
This would be one day later than the 90 days deadline but before the three month deadline expires. As a result, Dodon refused to intervene to dissolve the parliament. The Democratic party was left out, and the Democratic deputy, Sergiu Sîrbu, filed a request to the Constitutional Court to dismiss Dodon for his inability to dissolve the government. The court, which is considered to be under influence by the Democratic Party, on Sunday 9 June agreed to the request, dismissing Dodon and appointing Filip acting president. Filip dissolved the parliament and announced that early elections would be held on 6 September.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Crisis
The coalition called the decision of Filip illegal. On June 8, supporters of the Democratic Party started to install tents in Chișinău. On June 14, Filip decided to step down from the government for 'political stability',  but demanded a snap election and refused to recognize Sandu’s government as legal. The move didn't address the presidential status of Dodon.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Crisis
On June 15, the Constitutional Court repealed the decisions, judgements and opinions which had triggered the crisis. It was also reported that the leader of the Democratic Party Vladimir Plahotniuc fled the country on a private jet the day before. He claimed that he had left "for a few days" in order to visit his family.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Crisis
On June 20, the President of the Constitutional Court, Mihai Poalelungi, resigned from office. Later, on June 26, the entire group of constitutional court judges announced their resignations as well. This move was welcomed by the now undisputed President and Prime Minister (Dodon and Sandu), who stated that through mass resignations and electing new independent judges will the integrity of the Constitutional Court be restored.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Reactions, European Union
On June 8, the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini issued a statement taking note of the decisions taken by the Moldovan parliament, "including on the formation of the government coalition". In the statement, the European Union expressed its willingness to work with the "democratically elected government", carefully not naming which one it was talking about, while recognizing the existence of the coalition government.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Reactions, European Union
The statement further indicated that the EU supported a "commitment to reforms" described by the EU-Moldova Association Agreement and that respect for the rule of law was paramount to EU-Moldova relations. Finally, the EU strongly "reiterated its call" for "calm and restraint", with the EU favoring "dialogue between democratically elected representatives" as a way forward.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Reactions, European Union
The governments of France, Germany, Poland, Sweden, and the United Kingdom jointly declared their support for the new Sandu government and called for restraint. Romania, despite declaring on June 10 through its Minister of Foreign Affairs that it would not recognise the newly-elected cabinet and would back early elections instead, finally recognised the Sandu cabinet on June 12.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Reactions, Russia
On June 9, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak described the actions of the Democratic Party as "frankly criminal". Kozak noted the "courageous and pragmatic position of the pro-European bloc Acum and the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova" for overcoming political differences and representing the "will of the people". On June 12, Russian President Vladmir Putin backed pro-Russian president Dodon, additionally throwing his support behind "his current coalition partners" and calling the Democratic Party government "usupers". Putin stated that power had been seized by oligarchs, a situation which he likened to Ukraine.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Reactions, United States
On June 10, the United States Department of State issued a statement "calling on all Moldovan parties to show restraint and to agree on a path forward through political dialogue" and emphasizing the validity of the 2019 Moldovan parliamentary election. The statement effectively fell short of endorsing either party to the crisis. On June 14, State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus released a press statement "welcoming the democratic change in Moldova" and the Democratic Party's decision to resign from government in favor of the Sandu Cabinet. According to a news report which cited anonymous sources, the resignation of the Democratic Party came hours after the US Ambassador to Moldova Dereck J. Hogan met with a delegation from the Democratic Party.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Reactions, Other countries and organizations
The Council of Europe declared on June 9 through its Secretary-General that the decisions of the Constitutional Court on the same day to invalidate the forming of the Sandu government were "difficult to understand" and seemed "to be arbitrary" vis-à-vis the Constitution and international rule of law standards. The Secretary-General also requested the Venice Commission, an independent advisory body of the Council with competence in constitutional law, to urgently express an opinion on the dissolution of the Moldovan parliament by the Court. On the same day, NATO declared it was following "with concern" the developments in Moldova, and called on all parties to "exercise calm and restraint".


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Reactions, Other countries and organizations
Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization became indirectly involved with the crisis as the ousted Prime Minister Filip declared in a tweet that Moldova would move its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. While Israel made no comment, the PLO "strongly condemned Moldova's unlawful decision". The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation also condemned the move without pronouncing itself on the legitimacy of the government.


2019 Moldovan constitutional crisis, Reactions, Other countries and organizations
As noted by The Times of Israel, in general the Netanyahu government is making enormous efforts to convince countries to move their Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem – but in this case, the Israeli government refrained from commenting, knowing that Filip might not be able to cling to power and that Sandu who may replace him (as indeed happened) was in no way committed to the Embassy move.


2019 Moldovan local elections
Local elections were held in Moldova on 20 October 2019, with a runoff for mayors held two weeks later.


2019 Moldovan local elections, Legal context
According to Article 119 of the "Electoral Code" of Moldova, local elected representatives are elected "for a four year term, which begins from the date of conducting local general elections". The previous local election was held in 2015.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election
Parliamentary elections were held in Moldova on 24 February 2019 in order to elect the 101 members of the Parliament of Moldova. The Constitution holds that elections are to be held no later than four years and three months from the date of inauguration of the previous legislature. The elections were held under a parallel voting system, replacing the closed-list proportional system used in Moldova at all previous parliamentary elections since the independence. The electoral campaign period began in November 2018 and continued up until the election day.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election
Candidates from four parties were elected to the Parliament, more specifically the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM), the Democratic Party of Moldova (PDM), the ACUM electoral alliance composed of the DA and the PAS, and the Șor Party. The Party of Communists (PCRM) failed to obtain any seats for the first time since the independence of the Republic of Moldova. The results were subsequently confirmed and validated by Moldova's Constitutional Court on 9 March 2019. Furthermore, the results triggered a constitutional crisis in June.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, Electoral system
The 101 seats in the Parliament were elected using a parallel voting system introduced in 2017; 50 MPs were elected by proportional representation in a single nationwide constituency, with the other 51 elected from single-member constituencies.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, Electoral system
For the nationwide constituency, the electoral threshold varies depending on the type of list; for single parties or organisations it was 6%; for alliances of two parties it was 9%, and for alliances of three or more parties it was 11%. For independent candidates the threshold was 2%. Turnout must be at least 33% to validate the results. There is still controversy against the new election system and a referendum in 2018 against it was considered possible.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, Opinion polls, Vote
Poll results are listed in the table below in reverse chronological order, showing the most recent first, and using the date the survey's fieldwork was done, as opposed to the date of publication. If such date is unknown, the date of publication is given instead. The highest percentage figure in each polling survey is displayed in bold, and the background shaded in the leading party's colour. In the instance that there is a tie, then no figure is shaded. The "Lead" column on the right shows the percentage-point difference between the two parties with the highest figures. When a specific poll does not show a data figure for a party, the party's cell corresponding to that poll is shown empty. The threshold for a party to elect members is 6%.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, Coalition talks
Following the elections, both the Socialist Party and Democratic Party proposed forming a coalition with ACUM, with the PDM also proposing that the post of Prime Minister would go to an ACUM member, despite PDM being the larger party. However, following the promises made during the campaign, ACUM refused both offers.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, Coalition talks
On 8 April, ACUM announced that they would reverse their decision about rejecting coalition negotiations with PSRM.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, Coalition talks
After the decision, party leaders, Maia Sandu and Andrei Năstase of ACUM, officially invited PSRM to start coalition negotiations. Maia Sandu and Andrei Năstase said that they still rejected coalition negotiations with PDM, but they were willing to negotiate a deal with PSRM.


2019 Moldovan parliamentary election, Coalition talks
Coalition negotiations are set to take place on 9 April or on a different day, which will be discussed by ACUM and PSRM.


2019 Moldovan referendum
A non-binding two-part referendum was held in Moldova on 24 February 2019, alongside parliamentary elections. Voters were asked two questions; whether the number of MPs should be reduced from 101 to 61 and whether MPs should be open to recall. Both proposals were approved by voters, with voter turnout above the 33% threshold required to validate the result.


2019 Moldovan referendum, Campaign
Parties were able to formally register as part of the for or against campaigns for both questions.

The drivers and teams were the same as the season entry list with no additional stand-in drivers for either the race or practice. This race saw Alfa Romeo driver Kimi Räikkönen celebrate his 300th Grand Prix entry.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Background, Events preceding the race
On 20 May, less than a week before the race, three-time world champion Niki Lauda died at the age of 70, after a long period of ill health. All teams had since paid tribute to Lauda on the weekend, with Mercedes, whom Lauda had been a key personnel, paid the highest tributes by painting their halos red and including a red three-pointed star on the engine cover on their cars until the remainder of the season.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Qualifying
During the first qualifying session, Nico Hülkenberg was blocked on his first flying lap by Antonio Giovinazzi at turn 17. Giovinazzi was later handed a three-place grid penalty. Around halfway through the session, after most drivers had come into the pits, Charles Leclerc had set the sixth fastest time. However, Ferrari decided not to send him out again in order to save tyres. As other drivers began to improve their lap times, Leclerc fell down the order and was eventually eliminated from Q1 by teammate Sebastian Vettel, the last driver to cross the line. Ferrari later admitted this was a team mistake. Vettel's final lap was the fastest of the session.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Qualifying
In the second qualifying session, Pierre Gasly impeded Romain Grosjean, and was later given a three-place grid penalty. Max Verstappen set the fastest time of the session.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Qualifying
Lewis Hamilton took pole position with a new track record ahead of teammate Valtteri Bottas. As a result, Mercedes equalled the record for most front row lockouts, and Hamilton took the record for most pole positions with one constructor. Max Verstappen qualified in third, his highest qualifying position of the year.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Race
Before the race started, there was a moment of silence to pay respects to Lauda, with the majority of personnel and fans wearing red caps.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Race
The opening lap proceeded cleanly, with Lewis Hamilton maintaining his lead from pole position. Charles Leclerc began to fight through the field after starting in 15th place. Leclerc had made it up to 12th by lap eight, but touched the inside wall at turn 17 during an overtake attempt on Nico Hülkenberg, sending his Ferrari into a spin. This contact caused a right-rear tyre puncture. Over the course of the next lap, Leclerc fell to last place as his tyre ripped apart and caused significant damage to the car's floor, spreading debris around the track. After emerging from the pits after a tyre change, he was a lap down on the leaders. A safety car was deployed on lap 11 for the marshals to clear the debris.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Race
The leaders made their pit stops at the end of the lap, during the safety car period. Valtteri Bottas, Max Verstappen and Sebastian Vettel entered the pits all within one car length of each other. Verstappen's pit stop was faster than Bottas's, and Verstappen was released alongside, but slightly ahead of Bottas, with the two cars making contact. Bottas had no choice but to yield at the pit exit, losing second place to Verstappen. Bottas was brought into the pits again on the following lap for a switch from medium to hard-compound tyres and for the team to check for damage, emerging in fourth place behind Vettel.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Race
Racing resumed on lap 15. On the same lap, Antonio Giovinazzi attempted an overtake on Robert Kubica at turn 17, making contact and sending the Williams into a spin. Kubica's car stopped whilst facing sideways at the exit of the turn, blocking the circuit and forcing Giovinazzi, Hülkenberg, Leclerc, Sergio Pérez and George Russell to stop on track and wait for him to move aside so that they could pass Kubica.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Race
Leclerc came into the pits on the following lap for a switch to soft-compound tyres, but on his out-lap, Ferrari decided that the floor damage caused by his lap eight incident was too great. Leclerc returned to the pits and retired from the race, continuing his streak of failing to finish his home Grand Prix, after retiring from the 2018 Monaco Grand Prix and from both races at the 2017 Monaco Formula 2 round.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Race
On lap 22, Verstappen was issued a five-second time penalty for his unsafe release in the pits ten laps earlier. On lap 26, Giovinazzi was issued a penalty of ten seconds for causing the incident on lap 15. He later served his penalty in the pits. Verstappen spent the rest of the race attempting to overtake Hamilton, who was suffering on worn tyres, in order to build a lead and win the race despite his penalty. On lap 76, Verstappen mounted his only close challenge of the race, on the inside of turn 10.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Race
He made contact with the rear of the Mercedes, causing both cars to cut the chicane. Verstappen was unable to get close enough for an overtake on the subsequent laps, and Hamilton crossed the finish line to take victory. Verstappen's penalty saw him demoted from second to fourth, with Vettel and Bottas promoted to second and third respectively. This marked the sixth consecutive victory in 2019 for Mercedes, but the first time that season that the team did not take a 1–2 finish.


2019 Monaco Grand Prix, Race
Completing the top ten were Gasly (who set the fastest lap of the race), Sainz, Kvyat, Albon, Ricciardo and Grosjean (who was penalized from 9th), both Toro Rosso cars finishing in the points for the first time since the 2017 Spanish Grand Prix, and their best finish since the 2015 United States Grand Prix.

2019 Monaco ePrix, Report, Background
The Monaco ePrix was confirmed to be returning to the Formula E calendar on 4 November 2018. It was the first time the race was held since 2017 as the event is held biennially, alternating with the Historic Grand Prix of Monaco. Originally, series founder and CEO Alejandro Agag had wanted to upgrade to using the full size Circuit de Monaco instead of the shorter version used in 2017 and 2015 centred around the Rainier III Nautical Stadium. However, plans for this fell through when the FIA objected to it in September 2018.


2019 Monaco ePrix, Report, Background

2019 Monaghan County Council election
An election to Monaghan County Council took place on 24 May 2019 as part of that year's local elections. All 18 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 3 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote. The 2018 LEA boundary review committee kept the LEAs used in the 2014 elections, adjusting the boundaries and moving one seat from Ballybay–Clones LEA to Monaghan LEA.


2019 Monaghan County Council election
Bucking a trend elsewhere Sinn Féin slightly increased their vote in Monaghan. However this did not prevent the party from losing a seat in the Carrickmacross-Castleblayney LEA but Sinn Féin would still remain the largest party. The Sinn Féin loss was to former Carrickmacross TC Cllr, Mary Kerr-Conlon. However the Fine Gael vote in Monaghan fell by over 5% a consequence of Hugh McElvaney retaining his seat in Ballybay-Clones as an Independent.

2019 Mongolian constitutional crisis
The 2019 Mongolian constitutional crisis refers to legislation that has been criticized as threatening Mongolia's democracy by undermining its constitutional separation of powers. Though there is no consensus on the exact date the crisis began, many point to 27 March 2019, when the Mongolian Parliament adopted an unprecedented law empowering the National Security Council of Mongolia to recommend the dismissal of judges, prosecutors, and the head of the Anti- Corruption Agency. Proposed by President Khaltmaagiin Battulga, the law was ratified by a majority of the ruling Mongolian People's Party.


2019 Mongolian constitutional crisis, Background
The Mongolian People's Party won the 2016 elections with a supermajority, claiming 65 of 76 total seats. In November 2018 Prime Minister Ukhnaagiin Khürelsükh survived a vote of no confidence in the wake of a 2018 scandal involving the fraudulent allocation of the Small and Medium Enterprises Development Fund. Empowered to dismiss the Speaker by a law proposed by President Battulga, Khürelsükh's supporters in Parliament eventually ousted Speaker of Parliament Miyeegombyn Enkhbold, replacing him with current Speaker Gombojavyn Zandanshatar.
